Staintune Slip On Pipe for R1200RT

[moshe_levy]

Anyone have one of these, or heard one? I can't find a sample anywhere. I'm curious because it's advertised as actually being quieter than stock, though I'm sure the sound quality is nice, judging from other Staintune pipes I've heard over the years.

I have one on my 2007 RT. I run it with the silencer out. It is as quiet as stock with it in.

Ron-

 

How would you compare the tone to stock? The sound?

Checkout Epcostainless.com I got a stainless from them and it sounds like a early truimph 650. Nice and mellow and ~ 12lbs lighter and looks better than the tincan ones/ my .%02

I have Epcos on my R100S - not what I'm looking for here. I was specifically interested in the Staintune.

I had one on my 09 RT before I sold the bike. With the baffle in, it is about the same as stock - maybe even a bit quieter - but a deeper, slightly throaty tone. With the baffle out, it is louder than stock - but not that much - and significantly deeper and throatier. Its very personal, but I think Staintune is the best choice for an RT if you wnat a bit more sound with a better tone to it. It is also a beautifully manaufactured pipe and look great on the current RT models.

I have to agree with Onedae, I like the sound running through the gears. If you get off the gas it is pretty quiet.

A friend put Staintune on his GS. Sounded like fart noise with the baffle in - much better with it out!!

 

I recently went with a Remus Hexacone on my ST. Happy with the deep tone and it really didn't make much of a change with the baffle out.

I have the Staintune slip on, it is quieter than stock with the baffel in but a much better sound, with the baffel out it is louder but not too loud, it is still legal in Australia with the baffel out.
